Hello, I just received my first powerbook, a 180c. The laptop itself seem to have survived the trip but not the power brick, no voltage on my multimeter. When I shake it, a part rattle inside. So using instructions found on this forum I was able to open the case. I found lot of rust and what seem to be the remain of an inductor. I know I'll have to clean the board and change some capacitors but I can't find the value of that broken inductor on the board it look like it's called L102. For reference my ac adapter is the 7.5 volt 3 amp (aps-46u). Until i fix the ac adapter I won't know if the powerbook is fully working. There is a small charge left in the battery so when I press power the laptop chime and shutdown immediatly, this is a good sign ?
